Description

Hall Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse, with later additions, dating to 1587. It is constructed of colourwashed brick-dressed flint with pantile and slate roofs, capped with moulded brick kneelers. The building is originally a single range of three cells (six bays) and a chimney bay, with a continuous outshut of one-and-a-half storeys to the rear. The garden facade, facing southwest, features an axial stack between the first and second cells and an internal stack to the right gable end. There is a dogs tooth oversailing cornice. The ground floor has a glazed doorway to the left and a tripartite flush sash window with glazing bars to the right of the first cell. The second cell has two flush sashes, while the third cell has glazed French windows with flanking lights. The first floor also features two flush sashes to each cell; the one to the left of the third cell was lowered to accommodate a staircase. A blocked opening is present in the middle right of the third cell. The windowless right return displays a fire insurance plaque, and the apex is marked with stone inscribed "1587 DWC". The left return has a brick gable with a blocked opening and a terracotta lion rampant sinister above, likely derived from the reversed Fitzalan arms of the Augustinian Priory at Pentney. A lower, two-storey, polygonal addition with a pantile roof was added in the 18th century to the left return, featuring flush sashes with glazing bars on the south-west facade. On the rear, there is a later, continuous one-and-a-half storeyed outshut, also with an oversailing dogstooth cornice.

The interior includes a through passage in the outshut to the rear of the front range and enclosed firestacks. The second cell retains a moulded tie beam and cross beam with jewel stopped chamfers. The third cell now contains a staircase and partition wall, along with ogee stopped beams. The rear wall of the third cell has a large rectangular two-light opening, now blocked, which was likely a former window with a moulded wooden frame and a king mullion. A boarded door with fleur de lys strap hinges leads to the attic from the outshut. The roof has an inserted secondary support structure below the original timbers.
